EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "H.R.H. The Prince of Wales in Egypt -- The Ascent of the Great Pyramid," dates back to 1891 and was published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper." The image captures a young and adventurous Prince Albert Edward, later known as King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, as he embarks on an arduous journey up the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The Victorian-era prince, dressed in a light-colored suit and a bowler hat, is assisted by a local guide, likely from the region of Mizraim. The Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is a formidable backdrop to this historic moment. The image, a testament to the photographic techniques of the 19th century, conveys a sense of excitement and achievement as the future king of Britain and Ireland conquers one of the world's most iconic landmarks. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the life of a monarch before he ascended to the throne. This image, from the extensive collection of "The Print Collector," is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those interested in the history of Egypt, the British monarchy, or the Victorian era.
